He informed Tian Zhen and Fuji Mu of the date early, and before dawn, he came to the opposite side of Tonghuafang. The trio paused in the cool autumn breeze.

Li Siye left the green horse to Zhang Xiaojing to help take care of the fodder, and after the fracture, it was not suitable for long-distance travel. The horse from the Western Regions sent by the prince came in handy, and Li Siye named him Hei Fat, because the horse's belly was indeed half a circle larger than that of an ordinary horse.

Fujimaki had his own horses, and one or two friends came to see him off, presumably from the Japanese mission to Tang, and these people were talking about their hometown dialect together. Li Siye stood up straight, pretending not to be interested in their words, because the painting style in front of him was easy for people to jump out of the scene and fly directly into the spy war TV series.

When Fujimu's two friends spoke, they also looked at Li Siye and Tian Zhen vigilantly, as if they had some ulterior motives.

Tian Zhen was the most shabby, he only had a bundle of wraps and patches of Western Regions robes.

Waiting for Fujimu's friends to leave, Li Siye made a slight face, you Japanese, in my Datang ...... Under my nose, I actually spoke in Japanese, could it be some kind of conspiracy?

Fujimu felt Li Siye's dislike, bowed down and crossed his hands and said: "Travel rate, don't blame the travel rate, these people are my fellow villagers, and they are also for my safety. ”

Li Siye understood the taste, and Tian Zhen asked dissatisfiedly beside him: "Are they afraid that the two of us will kill you, or kill you?" ”

Fujimaki hurriedly explained, "They think that way themselves, but I know that the inheritance will not harm me. ”

He didn't say anything when he missed half a sentence, Tian Zhen couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, and snorted: "You see me as a threat, you think you are a handsome girl, and you are still a rich businessman?" You Japanese meat is not worth more than mutton. ”

Fujimaki hurriedly argued: "As the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from their belly, and people have the heart to defend against others......

Li Siye was afraid that they would quarrel on the spot because of such a trivial matter, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it!" Fujimu, this Tian Zhen is my friend, and I can't guess for no reason. And Tian Zhen, you look like that, your beard covers your face, not to mention Fujimu, anyone who sees it must guard against you first. ”

The two of them stayed around Li Siye and stopped talking, but they still looked at each other unpleasantly. Li Siye estimated that this should be a disagreement caused by physiognomy. Fujimaki is a Japanese man who is handsome and thin, with no beard on his chin and a little white face. and Tian Zhen, who has a rough face, are completely two extremes.

Tian Zhen may have been born with a very annoying little white face, just like Zhang Fei couldn't get used to Lu Bu, who was a slave with three surnames.

"Huh?" Fujimaki suddenly found that the backpack on Li Siye's back was completely different from the package of the two of them, consisting of two wide bands on his shoulders, which was convenient and comfortable to carry, similar to the book basket carried by a reader, which was more convenient than that.

"What is this?"

"Backpack."

"Tut, I came to Datang to see everything, read a lot of books, and I have never seen this kind of thing, and I will make one when I get to Anxi."

Tian Zhen glanced at it with contempt beside her, and although her eyes were hot, she still snorted and said, "It's a strange trick, it's not worth mentioning."

Fujimu discovered something new again, and when he saw five or six empty water bags hanging crookedly on Li Siye's black horse, he had a question in his heart and asked strangely, "Why are you carrying so many water bags?" We're walking with the team of Du Hu, and there will be no water on the way?"

"Be prepared, what if the water bag breaks, you should have supplies."

Fuji Mu glanced at Li Siye with strange eyes, and then nodded in admiration.

Li Siye didn't pay attention to this, but he was a little anxious in his heart, and he waited here for a long time and still didn't see the team that came to protect him.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Li Siye looked over with Fujimu's guidance, and walked out of a small team from the Vermilion Bird Gate in the imperial city, with the huge word 'come' embroidered on the red flag.

They walked slowly along Suzaku Street towards the Duting Station, and when the group was halfway there, they were joined by a cavalry of one hundred and ten men, who had probably arrived from the backyard of Anseiliu in Pingkangfang.

The team stopped on the side of the gate of Tonghuafang, Lai Yao was wearing a purple robe and riding on a horse, beside him there were two generals wearing mountain armor, and several red flags fluttering behind him, which was majestic, so that Li Siye couldn't help but yearn for it, if we could mix to this extent in the future.

He led the horse to Du Hu, crossed his hands and bowed: "Humble Li Siye, meet Du Hu."

Fujimaki and Tian Zhen also followed behind him, only giving salutes and not speaking.

"Okay," Lai Yao turned to a civilian official behind him and said, "Shi joins the army, and distributes armor and horizontal swords to Li Shuzheng and his subordinates."

"Whoa."

He turned his head again and said to Li Siye: "The marching army needs to wear armor, you can follow the rear team for the time being, and when you arrive in Anxi, we will arrange for you to be really short."

Li Siye crossed his hands and bowed again: "Obey!"

Bing Cao Shi joined the army and set up his horse and shouted to Li Siye quite coldly: "Please come with me."

The three of them led the horses and followed Shi to enter the Duting Station, only to find that this post covers a wide area, except for the post station and its subordinates and people, the rest are all soldiers, most of the soldiers are carrying the flag behind them, and they can judge where they come from through the words on the flag.

They followed Shi Senjun through the crowd and into a rather spacious storeroom, where dozens of soldiers were loading armor and horizontal knives on the backs of camels.

The soldier took out a piece of paper from his bosom, stopped the two soldiers, and said, "Take a set of high-grade fine scale armor from the car, one first-class horizontal knife, two sets of medium fine scale armor, and two second-class horizontal knives." ”

The soldiers were instructed to take out the iron armor and helmets from the inventory, and then took out the horizontal knives and carried them into the arms of the three men.

Li Siye's hands were upside down, this set of armor was about sixty catties, which was equivalent to a bag of flour.

The horizontal knife scabbard is a little old, the handle is ringed, and the blade is like a mirror after being withdrawn, and the blade is double-edged. This horizontal knife, obstacle knife, and Mo knife are all complete, if you count the razor knife hanging on his belt, he carried a total of four knives on this trip.

"Hurry up and change into armor and return to the team, come to Yaodu to protect and leave soon."

They heard the order to join the army, and each went to put on his armor.

This fine scale armor is composed of walnut-sized armor, and Mingguang, Wenshan and other armor is different, the fine scale armor is embellished on the leather layer by layer, like fish scales, there is no lock between each other, so it is a low-grade product in the iron armor, and the protection of heavy weapons such as hammers is not as good as Mingguang, light, and the protection of bows and arrows is not as good as Shanwen.

Fine scale armor and black hammer armor belong to the main protection of the middle and lower level officers and soldiers of the Tang Army, from the bottom to the top from the grade is distinguished, the advanced fine scale armor uses the gilding process, the surface of the iron armor is plated with a layer of copper or lead for anti-rust treatment, the kind of iron armor worn by the soldiers will rust.

The difference between the suit of armor worn by Li Siye and Fuji Makita Zhen is in the headband and wat headband, Li Siye wears a phoenix wing headband, and the hat and helmet come with a shawl, which can effectively prevent arrows from sealing the throat. The two of them were just protective helmets. His wat headband is also equipped with a brass beast, which is needless to say.

After the three of them finished dressing, they led the horses out of the post station, Tian Zhen did not bring a horse himself, but under the care of Shi Senjun, he also shared a horse. They voluntarily fell into the back team.

The guards who stayed at the post station were wrapped in the material camel team allocated by the imperial court, and the whole team numbered nearly 100 people, turned back to Hengjie, and set off from Jinguang Gate along the avenue, and after walking out of Jinguang Gate, there was also a team stationed outside the city, and after mixing with the escort team, the number reached nearly 300 people.

This is the escort force of the Anxi Duhu, belonging to the pro-guard brigade, under the jurisdiction of five teams, marching in strict accordance with the military formation, there are forwards, guards, left wing, right wing, and the middle army, these five teams in addition to the banner of the Anxi Duhu, there are also five elements of the flag representing their respective positions, marching in an orderly manner, not chaotic at all.

Lined up on the official road, Li Siye and the other three hung at the tail of the team, eating the dust raised by the horses in front, and when the sun set, they looked back and could still see the eaves of the Daming Palace on the dragon's head.
